Las Palmas the city full of diversity

Where to begin. Gran Canaria the island with much history, beauty and diversity. I am very fortunate to have moved to this great island. I like to give you each week an inside of this beautiful volcanic Island. There are many essentials visits if your travels take you here.
I begin with Las Palmas, the capital of Canary Island. Its a city full of live, lying on the northern point of the Island. On the Norths of Las Palmas is the beautiful Las Canteras, stretching  for about 3 km.It is one of the most beautiful urban beach in the world. Here you see all walks of live,  Tourists,families,business people all enjoying their daily walk. Narrow streets which takes a lot of skills to drive. Looking from the sea towards the mountains, you see houses like birds nest.  On the (north east of Las Palmas) is the great port,where the Cruise ships anker, Las Palmas port has connections to 180 ports in the world, with 30 shipping lines.
It is a truly major tourist destination.
